There's so much wrong with this movie
that you'd need a chart to explain it all: Amongst other things,
it glorifies stalking, promotes violence against innocent French
people, and stars Meg Ryan. Matthew Broderick plays a sweet-natured
but deeply deranged astronomer who destroys the life of his ex-fiancée's
new boyfriend (Tchéky Karyo). He is helped in this endeavor
by some illegal listening equipment, his collection of cockroaches,
and a violently unstable woman (Ryan) who was Karyo's last girlfriend.
Of course, while making their ex-beloved's lives miserable, Broderick
and Ryan fall in love. Nonetheless, I couldn't help thinking that
this whole plot could have been avoided with a simple restraining
order.
